Abstract:
The long-term measurement data presented in this article result were collected in a strongly daylit office building under real working conditions and include temperature and wind speed of the outdoor situation as well as climatic variables of the indoor space, such as temperature and relative humidity. In addition to the measurement of environmental variables, the window opening behavior was also logged. The entire data acquisition was implemented via the building control system and was performed with a one-minute resolution. An exception to this is the recording of the window openings, which were logged on change of state. The measurement data obtained can be combined with other measurement data to provide an improved data basis for energy building simulations, prediction models and energy potential assessments.
